Its so hard to believe that he's 5 already! FIVE!!! I have no idea where the last 5 years have gone. Someone told me years ago that once you have kids, time goes faster than ever. Now I know exactly what they were talking about! When I woke him up this morning, he was upset because I made his dream disappear! He was dreaming that he was playing the Cars Playstation game! What a kid - what a dream!
Joey is really special to us. We went through a lot to have him, and we're lucky that he's such a great kid. Joey was born a month early and he weighed in at 5lbs 8oz. He was such a tiny little thing. He was so small, yet he looked like a little old man. His skin was like tissue paper and it was all red, and if you rubbed his back, his skin would just crinkle up. For the first few days he had to be fed with a tube. He was finally released from the hospital at 3pm on Christmas Eve. He was my favourite Christmas present that year :)
I won't say that the past 5 years have been easy... I mean, he's a good kid, but being a parent has lots of ups and downs. Its been a lot of fun, and he's made every day even more special to me. He has a way of making me smile when I'm upset, making me laugh at the most innocent questions that he asks (when can I be a dad was yesterdays question!), and making me see life in a whole new way. He's just an awesome person, and I love him soooooo much!!!!!!
So Happy Birthday Joey - WE LOVE YOU BIG GUY!!!
And you're getting a big surprise this afternoon :)
